Career / Enhanced Security Agencies’ Co...
Last post by Ibrahim - 2025-07-03 07:03The Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ola Olukoyede, has emphasized the importance of enhanced collaboration among security agencies in the ongoing battle against corruption and insecurity in Nigeria. He made this call during a visit by the student officers of the Senior Leadership and Staff Officers' Course 3/2025 from the Nigerian Army College of Logistics and Management (NACOLM), Ojo, Lagos to the Benin Zonal Directorate of the EFCC.




Olukoyede, represented by Assistant Commander of the EFCC, ACE I Francis Jirbo, highlighted that collaborative efforts are crucial to overcoming the challenges posed by corruption and other forms of criminality in the country. The visit's theme was "Optimizing National Security Through a Whole of Society Approach," aiming to provide the officers with a practical understanding of the EFCC's role in maintaining national security.
ACE I Williams Oseghale, Head of the Media and Publicity Unit at the Benin Zonal Directorate, presented on the EFCC's history, successes, and challenges. He discussed the agency's mandate of investigating, prosecuting, and preventing economic and financial crimes, and highlighted significant achievements such as the conviction of high-profile individuals, the recovery of substantial assets, and the restoration of investor confidence.
Oseghale also touched on the challenges faced by the EFCC, including threats to officers, inadequate funding for prevention and sensitization programs, a slow judicial process, and public skepticism.
Ibrahim Boyi, the Head of the Special Control Unit against Money Laundering (SCUML), informed the officers about the unit's role in monitoring and regulating Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions (DNFBPs) and Non-Profit Organizations (NPOs) to combat money laundering and terrorism financing. He explained that FATF sets international standards for these efforts.
Navy Captain N. Lawali expressed his appreciation for the EFCC's engagement and acknowledged the value of inter-agency cooperation. He stated that the insights gained from the session would be instrumental in shaping the officers' training and understanding of the EFCC's contributions to national security.

Business / Ukrainian debacle serves as a ...
Last post by Ibrahim - 2025-07-03 06:41The Ukrainian debacle serves as a stark reminder to Canada and the international community of the perils of negotiating with the Trump administration in good faith. Despite Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's acquiescence to the U.S. president's demands, including signing away mineral rights and agreeing to an unconditional ceasefire, the U.S. still reneged on its commitments, cutting off previously funded weapons supplies and leaving Ukrainian cities vulnerable to Russian aggression.

This unfortunate turn of events underscores the crucial lesson that trusting the Trump administration to act in good faith is a recipe for disaster. Time and again, we have seen the U.S. president's words and actions betray a fundamental lack of integrity, making it impossible to take him at his word. The devastating consequences of this approach are now evident in Ukraine, where innocent lives are being lost due to America's betrayal.
The implications of this debacle extend far beyond Ukraine's borders. Canada, in particular, must take heed of this cautionary tale as it navigates its own complex relationships with the U.S. and other global powers. It is essential for Canadian policymakers to recognize that the Trump administration's negotiating style is predicated on exploiting power imbalances and leveraging coercion to achieve its objectives. This approach makes it impossible to engage in genuine, mutually beneficial dialogue.
Furthermore, the Ukrainian experience serves as a stark reminder that the U.S. is increasingly behaving like a rogue state, with little regard for the principles of international cooperation and diplomacy. The world is now witnessing the disastrous consequences of America's retreat from its traditional leadership role, leaving a power vacuum that Russia's Vladimir Putin is only too eager to fill.
In this new era of international relations, where the rules-based order is under attack, Canada must adopt a more assertive and pragmatic approach to defending its interests. This means diversifying our trade relationships, strengthening our alliances with like-minded nations, and engaging in a more nuanced and informed dialogue with global powers.
The Ukrainian fiasco is a stark reminder that, in the world of international diplomacy, you are often negotiating not with a reliable partner, but with individuals who prioritize self-interest over global cooperation. As Canada charts its course in this treacherous landscape, it is crucial to remember that the Trump administration's track record is a testament to the fact that, when it comes to the U.S. president, words are cheap, and trust is a luxury we can no longer afford.

Agriculture / Dairy supply management may co...
Last post by Olatunbosun - 2025-07-03 06:09Dairy supply management may complicate trade negotiations between Canada and the US.
Canada-U.S. trade talks, particularly focusing on Canada's supply management system for dairy, eggs, and poultry.
This system, which limits imports through high tariffs and controls production, has been a point of contention in past trade negotiations. While Canada has removed a digital service tax to keep talks going, the more contentious issue of supply management remains. U.S. President Donald Trump has previously criticized Canadian tariffs on dairy products, and the system was a sticking point during the negotiations for the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). Despite recent legislation in Canada aiming to protect supply management during trade talks, some analysts suggest that the government may still be willing to discuss it if necessary to reach an agreement. The Canadian dairy industry is influential in the country's politics, especially in key provinces like Quebec and Ontario, making any changes to the system politically challenging. Dairy Farmers of Canada have responded to Trump's comments by stating that the U.S. actually exports more dairy products to Canada than it imports. The article highlights the complexity and potential for conflict in ongoing trade negotiations between the two countries.

Technology Market / Robert Millikan received the N...
Last post by Olatunbosun - 2025-07-03 05:41The Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to numerous groundbreaking scientists throughout history, recognizing their outstanding contributions to the field. In 1923, Robert Millikan joined this esteemed group, receiving the prestigious award for his remarkable work on the measurement of the elementary electric charge. Building upon the foundational research of Albert Einstein, Millikan's experiments provided conclusive evidence for the quantization of electric charge, a concept that had far-reaching implications for our understanding of the atomic structure.
Interestingly, Millikan's Nobel Prize came two years after Einstein received his own award in 1921, highlighting the significant impact of the latter's work on the photoelectric effect. As we glance at the portrait of Einstein on the wall, we are reminded of the profound influence his research had on subsequent scientific discoveries. The photoelectric effect, which demonstrated the particle-like behavior of light, paved the way for Millikan's innovative experiments on the elementary electric charge.
Millikan's achievement not only underscored the importance of Einstein's work but also opened up new avenues for exploration in the fields of electromagnetism and quantum mechanics. As we reflect on the contributions of these two pioneers, we are struck by the significance of interdisciplinary collaboration and the boundless potential of human curiosity. The legacy of Millikan and Einstein continues to inspire scientists today, driving innovation and advancement in the pursuit of scientific knowledge.

Crime and war / An anti-illegal mining operat...
Last post by Ibrahim - 2025-07-03 00:11The GoldBod Taskforce, an anti-illegal mining operation in Ghana, has recently apprehended 10 Chinese nationals in Asankragua, seizing 1.3kg of gold valued at over GH₵1.4 million ($240,000) along with GH₵1.3 million in cash and casino cards that suggest connections to money laundering and organized crime. The successful raid highlights the Ghanaian government's commitment to combating illegal mining activities, which have been detrimental to the country's environment and economy.

The GoldBod CEO, Sammy Gyamfi (Esq.), emphasized that the confiscated gold will be used to fund infrastructure projects, a clear indication of the taskforce's mission to ensure that the nation's resources are used for the benefit of its citizens. This operation underscores the importance of international cooperation in addressing the complex issue of gold smuggling and its associated crimes.
The arrests are a significant victory in the ongoing battle against illegal mining, known locally as "galamsey," which has led to deforestation, water pollution, and other environmental issues. The involvement of organized crime and foreign nationals has made the problem even more challenging. However, with the support of the government and law enforcement, the GoldBod Taskforce is sending a strong message that such activities will not be tolerated.
The operation in Asankragua is part of a broader effort to enforce mining laws and regulations, which are crucial for the sustainable development of Ghana's mining sector. By cracking down on these illicit activities, the government aims to protect the environment, promote legal mining practices, and generate revenue that can be used to improve the lives of its people.
This success story serves as an example for other countries facing similar challenges to stand firm and take decisive action against illegal mining and the networks that support it. It also underscores the need for continuous vigilance and collaboration between law enforcement agencies and communities to protect natural resources and ensure a more equitable distribution of wealth generated from mining activities.
